URBAN EXPLORERS 2020/21
Tom Dale Company in partnership with Inspire present
UBX: DYNAMIC CORE
A visceral fusion of urban dance, music and art as Film
Tom Dale Company’s URBAN EXPLORERS is our annual large scale participation programme and in 2020/21 we adapted and created a new project where our students worked together to create new choreography for a commissioned Dance Film.
Expect evocative, free-flowing urban contemporary dance borne out of the intensity and creativity of UK’s electronic dance music scene.
URBAN EXPLORERS’ annual spectacular performance offers young dancers from across Nottinghamshire the opportunity to work alongside professional dancers from the internationally renowned Tom Dale Company. This year the company took inspiration from a new projected stage and animation by Barrett Hogdson at Vent Media.
Throughout Lockdown the groups worked online to adapt and create new choreography for film. We are delighted with their dedication, teamwork and enthusiasm for the work.
